Loc’d For Life

Posted by Nykieria Chaney in The Pangea's Garden Project on March 29, 2011 | No Comments
Every now and again shells clink around my ears and I’m reminded that I have locs. Not in the forgotten sense but more like they’ve become so natural that they’re just “me”.

It will be worth your while, I promise.

The Gardener
I am a humble creative who celebrates a pride in an Afro-senusal naptual glamour that broadens the very concept of beauty and gives voice to the rich, textured and soulful environment that nurtures it. My online communities are comprehensive collection of ideas on the influences of Afrocentricity in art, culture, sexuality, politics, music, family…life.
